When working at a printing company, there\u2019s never a dull moment. With so much going on at one time, it can be a fun and fulfilling environment. We are constantly juggling hundreds of clients with jobs that vary depending on the job\u2019s specifications. It\u2019s great to be busy, but if it seems like there aren\u2019t enough hours in the day to finish your work, it\u2019s time to analyze your daily work habits.<\/span><\/p>\n

Working more hours might seem like a good idea, but that\u2019s not always the answer. Instead of putting in extra hours, become more productive at work by focusing on what really matters. Get started right away by following these 4 tips!<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Be Positive<\/span><\/h3>\n

Being more productive at work begins with your attitude. People with a positive attitude take initiative. They help the co-worker in need or pick up the slack when someone is out sick. Having and maintaining a positive attitude is difficult and humans have the unfortunate habit of focusing more on the bad than the good; and that negativity inhibits our productivity. We tend to focus more on our shortcomings rather than our achievements and this effects how we perform at work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Next time you find yourself engaging in negative talk, pause; take the opportunity to lead by example and steer the conversation into a positive one. Remember to praise your employees or co-workers when they\u2019ve done something noteworthy. Once you\u2019re successful at displaying a positive attitude, you\u2019ll be surprised how easy it is to feel fulfilled, inspired, and more productive while working.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Communicate<\/span><\/h3>\n

Proper communication among the workplace eliminates unnecessary work and other potential misunderstandings. One of the best ways to avoid unnecessary rework and wasted time is to eliminate misunderstandings and miscommunications. Get it right the first time, and you\u2019ll save an impressive amount of time and mental energy revising and redoing tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n

To improve your communication skills, begin with enhancing your active listening skills and give people your full attention while they\u2019re talking. Effective communication is the key to achieving long-term success; whether you\u2019re the boss or the employee, you\u2019ll need to successfully communicate your ideas to be more productive at work.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Prioritize Work<\/span><\/h3>\n

You\u2019ve just arrived at work and before you\u2019ve even had your first sip of coffee, you\u2019re handed multiple tedious tasks to begin right away. It\u2019s so easy to get overwhelmed when we see the plethora of projects waiting to be completed for the day. In order to figure out what needs to be worked on first, ask yourself this question: Which projects have the biggest impact on the bottom line? Figure out the most important task to do for the day and make a numbered list to keep you on track. Make sure to check it off when the task is done; this will help keep you motivated and aware of what you have and haven\u2019t completed for the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

A big part of being effective at work is learning how to prioritize your responsibilities. Cut the busywork that doesn\u2019t actually amount to anything and work on what matters first!<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Do What You Love<\/span><\/h3>\n

Lastly, find a way to do what you love. When you\u2019re interested in, challenged by, and enjoy the work you do, it\u2019s easier to be more productive and engaged. Consider the parts of your job you look forward to, which skills get you the most praise, and what type of projects your co-workers ask for your help with. Strive to do more of those things!<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, no matter how much you love your job, there will still be times you need to do something you don\u2019t particularly enjoy. So, the next time you must do something you\u2019re not fond of, dare yourself to find it challenging instead of tedious.<\/span><\/p>\n

Being productive at work can be difficult. Managing your time in ways that are conducive to productivity is key, though it can be challenging to know what to do at first. Start small and begin by staying positive, communicate effectively, prioritize your work for the day, and try to do what you love.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
